Most U.S. universities expect international students to have a
secondary school diploma or secondary school examination results
that would enable them to attend a university in their home country.
This is particularly true of the most competitive universities,
which look for students with high grades (among other things).
However, remember that there is a wide range of admission standards
and acceptance rates among U.S. universities and colleges. Since the
U.S. system of education places great emphasis on breadth of
knowledge, it is also important that your secondary school study has
included a variety of subjects such as English, mathematics, natural
sciences (physics, chemistry, and/or biology), humanities or social
sciences (history, geography, economics, politics, or similar
subjects), and a foreign language. Lastly, universities will not
usually accept international students who are younger than age 17. |
